10 WWE Superstars Who Were Lucky Not To Be Released Today

2. Zack Ryder

Ryder is one of those guys that was popular with the fans about two or three years ago, but he was not a "chosen one" by WWE meaning that they never intended to push him. Most of his push was based on his popularity that he gained through the internet. They put the US Title on him, but then he got derailed after a feud with Kane that saw him pushed off a stage in a wheelchair. It's been downhill ever since, no pun intended. Or maybe there was. What is worrisome for Ryder is that his best friend Curt Hawkins just got released. They trained together, they started together in WWE, they're both from the state of New York and they were Edgeheads together. If Hawkins was going to be released then Ryder could be next. Why not? It's not like either one of them was being featured much. The only reason Ryder isn't in one of the top two spots is because those two guys are never on WWE TV anymore. At least Ryder has appeared on TV recently to get his ass kicked by Rusev on multiple occasions. It's better than nothing!
